Breast Cancer Awareness 2017

We are aware!

October 2017 is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). Since the program began in 1985, mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older, and breast cancer deaths have declined. This is exciting progress, but there are still women who do not take advantage of early detection at all, and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals.
Women age 65 and older are less likely to get mammograms than younger women, even though breast cancer risk increases with age. Hispanic women have fewer mammograms than Caucasian women and African American women.
Women below poverty level are less likely than women at higher incomes to have had a mammogram within the past two years. Mammography use has increased for all groups except American Indians and Alaska Natives.

The key to raising awareness is educating the public to the disease, preventative measures and risk factors. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about breast cancer according to the NBCAM organization.

The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month program is dedicated to increasing public knowledge about the importance of early breast cancer detection. Fifteen national public service organizations, professional associations, and government agencies comprise the Board of Sponsors, who work together to ensure that the NBCAM message is heard by thousands of women and their families.
